trick for me.

I haven't tried that yet, but it seems that is the only solution at

If you have a valid W7 software and license key, I the trick is to first
just put the W7 on. Then do all of the automatic security updates and
within a week or so, you will get a notice that says you can upgrade to W10.

When you get that W10 upgrade notice, do the W10 upgrade from there. Do not
go online and download a W10 software or upgrade directly since your W7
license key won't work for that. The built-in valid W7 license key will
only work for the W10 upgrade notice that you get from Microsoft after you
have had W7 installed for a while (a week or so).

With your W7 installed, the problem with the modem is probably a driver
problem. I found a free driver updater software online that checks for the
correct drivers, but the free version only lets you update up to two drivers
per day. I can't remember the name of the free program right now.

Or, if you know the modem make and model you can probably go to a support
website and download the correct driver.

If you post a reply back here in response to the above, I'll give you the
info for a very good newsgroup for computer questions like the ones you
have. It is a news.annexcafe.com newsgroup called

What do you mean by "modem"???
Most things referred to as internal modems would be a dialup modem from last
decade.
Your computer probably won't live live long enough to download windows
10
then the additional stuff it wants at the first update...or the second...or
the third....
You'll certainly be old and grey...

If it's an internal LAN interface and you have high-speed internet,
you need a driver.
Download (on another computer) and install that and you'll be good to go.
The option I use is to buy/beg/borrow/steal a USB or WIFI lan interface
that comes with a driver. Install that and connect to the web via that
interface. Get win10 running, then go in search for the driver for the
onboard
"modem".
Mine was not easy to find, but it was out there.

I tried that and it didn't work. I've been using W10 for well over two
months now and the activate bug is still on My desktop. I am going to
MS and get a key by phone.
Thanks anyway Mike.

Can you connect with the W10? There should be a place in the dialog to
switch activation keys that has a link to the MS website to purchase one.

I have a laptop with a WiMax interface in it. That might be called a modem.

WiMax was never available where I am, so I never got to use that
interface. Now they use LTE (I know both Verizon and Sprint have it here).

BTW, when I had POTS dial-up, the ISP had a rule about disconnecting a
user after 4 hours regardless of activity. I could never connect long
enough to download a DVD ISO. IIRC some ISPs allowed 12 hours, but
that's still a lot less than the more than 185 hours (more than a week)
you'd need.

I was assuming that since you are able to post here, you have access to the

For the computer in question, does it only have a modem to access the
Internet, or does it also have a NIC card and/or WiFi capability?

I don't think you can activate any Windows program without Internet access
since I think that Microsoft has to be able to "see" your computer to do the
activation so it can recognize the motherboard and other components as part
of the activation.

Maybe you could use whatever computer you are using to access the Internet
to post here and try to find the right driver for your modem and then copy
it via USB thumb drive to the problem computer.

Or, take the problem computer to a place that can access the Internet via
NIC card or WiFi or whatever. Or, beg, borrow, or steal a NIC card from
another computer or another person and put it in the problem computer.

It doesn't matter how outdated the comp is , you can still use it to DL the
win7 driver you need and load it on a thumb drive . P4 and WIN2K/SP4 will do
that ...

Duh, you have to point where your driver files are(your USB stick) make
sure none are zipped or compressed form. Sounds like you are not really
upto it. Just download mediacreationtool(64 bit or 32 bit version)
depending your upgrade candidate. Run this utility, follow up step by

I did that when I DL'd W10 onto a USB stick, then to a DVD. The W7
number is all I had t the time, and it wouldn't work so a call to MS
resulted in a # that DID work, and now no more activation bug. ^^

Actually, the latest W10 builds do allow direct entry of a W7 key. This is a
change from the older W10 builds.

I'm getting a MS call soon so no need at this point.
Thanks anyway... ^^

Now that you mention that, I think you are correct.

If so, I guess Eagle would need to download that W10 build via a good
computer with Internet access and then install it on his problem computer.

I think the most recent update of Windows 10 accepts your Win7 or Win8
key to activate it.

I am not a winders fan either, but I deal with it.
Since I used the W7 key when I loaded W10, wouldn't that key be in the
winders folder and automatically activate W10?

I made contact with a feller at MS and now My W10 pro 64 bit is
activated.
YAAAAAY!

Great. You originally also wrote, "...but the built-in modem will not

Yes, I don't have a modem. That comment was from the old W-3.1 days. ^^

Must activate 7 before upgrading to 10 or you are out of luck

The one I was working on today wouldn't even install 10 because 7
wasn't activated - at least Win10 upgrade says it isn't activated.

I'll see when I get back to it - likely tomorrow.

As to "the built-in modem will not load", I suppose you mean the driver
for a "soft modem" that requires software.

As to activation, I'm wondering how much you actually lose by not having
W10 activated (other than that reminder).
